Microsoft SharePoint is using a lot of CPU power, maybe between 5 and 20 percent, which seems unusual to me.
Microsoft SharePoint is using a lot of CPU power, maybe between 5 and 20 percent, which seems unusual to me.
Sharepoint.exe is eating way too much CPU on my PC while using it. My laptop uses zero percent, but this app inside OneDrive files is very high on my computer. I can't tell why because nothing started until recently and updates did not help. It happens at random times, like when turning the computer off and on again, or sometimes just when opening OneDrive, and often just for no reason in the middle of the day. My quick fix is to close it in Task Manager, which stops this problem from happening again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of OneDrive with nothing but deleting oneDrive files; that didn't work either. Please help me! (Windows 11 // 22H2)
Do you want to know why suddenly my computer uses so much power and how do I fix it?
The SharePoint.exe file is sitting in a folder called "OneDrive" on your computer. You can see this folder by looking at the version number inside it, like 23.169.0813.0001, which matches the OneDrive version you are using. This program seems to be working too hard and is burning a lot of power, making your PC fans spin very fast even though nothing else on the system needs that much electricity. It shouldn't be using more than 20% CPU because it used to work fine before this started happening. I don't think there is any problem with my laptop; in fact, both my PC and laptop have identical settings, updates, and OneDrive versions. If you still want me to get more information or help fix this, please tell me what else you need.
Do your programs talk to a big company's computer? Both SP and OneDrive connect together, just like they usually do for people who live at home. Which operating system are you running on?
They don't connect to a big company server. My OneDrive is just a personal thing on my own level. My school stuff goes into Word and Excel to pay for those services, but I've always done that on every device, and never had any problems. Plus, the school account isn't connected to OneDrive at all either, and I don't use it to do work or write files; I just use it to open these apps so I can access them. The computer is running Windows 11, as mentioned before.
